Table 1. The known (uppercase) and assigned (lowercase) PUUV status of all bank vole captures on the core grid.

PUUV antibody/infection status Number
Seronegative; susceptible at t 1871
 SS: negative, captured as negative at t–1 1027
MS: negative, captured as positive at t–1 78
0S: assigned by weight as not in population at t–1 97
?S: negative, not captured but assigned by weight as in population at t–1 669
  sS: assigned as susceptible at t–1 555.0
  mS: assigned as immune due to maternal antibodies at t–1 114.0
Seropositive (P): infected (I/i) or protected by maternal antibodies (M/m) at t 1415
II: positive, captured as positive at t–1 828
 SI: positive, captured as negative at t–1 223
?P: positive, not captured at t–1 364
  0M: positive year-born, later captured as negative; assigned not in population at t–1 47
  mM: positive year-born, later captured as negative; assigned as immune at t–1 31
  0m: positive year-born, not re-captured as negative; assigned not in population at t–1 52
  mm: positive year-born, not re-captured as negative; assigned as immune by weight 49.6
  ?i: positive adult, or a year-born assigned as infected by weight 184.4
             ii: assigned as infected and seroconverted before t–1 118.2
             si: assigned as infected and seroconverted between t–1 and t 59.1
             xi: no data to assign PUUV status for t–1 7
Total PUUV infection status
Susceptible (SS + MS + 0 S + ?S) 1871.0
Infected (II + SI + ?i) 1235.4
Maternal antibody positive (0M + mM + 0m + mm) 179.6
Total N of captures 3286

P = seropositive, S/s = susceptible, M/m = maternal antibody positive, I/i = infected, 0 = not in population, ? = unknown, x = undetermined.

Capital letters indicate status deduced from serological history, small letters the assigned status.

In PUUV infection/antibody status, the first character indicates PUUV status at t−1 (previous trapping session), and second character the PUUV status at t (current trapping session).

Seroconversion rates for total population and yearly cohorts per trapping session were calculated from (SI + si)/(SS + SI + ss + si), marked in bold.
